Important Decision by Justice Bradley.

Justice Bradley delivered his opinion in
the case at Trenton N. V, OF the attorney
general, informant, VS. The New York
Baltimore Railroad Company and The
Staten Island Rapid Transit Company on
the motion to dissolve the injunction 49,
sued by Chancellor MeGill restraining the
defendent from constructing bridge over
the Arthur kill on Staten Island sound.
He decided that the state had no right to
interfere, and therefore dissolved the in
junction. Under the constitution the
court holds that the corporations ol
one state cannot be prohibited by
other states, nor can they be mo-
Tested. He then discussed the question
of the power of congress to grant the right
to build the bridge, and remarked:
THAT question must be decided In the
affirmative, even irrespective OF the power
of states to interfere. 1t is only in an ex,
ceptional case that the United States re
quires exclusive jurisdiction and cession o
territory. No state law can annul law
passed by congress. The law OF eminent
domain cannot avail to frustrate the SUI
preme power OF the United States. The
Government OF the United States is vested
with full and supreme power to carry out
it's laws, and a state right OF eminent do
main cannot avail, especially when the reg
ulation OF Interstate commerce is pro-
posed"

4 Costume too Fearfully Invisible

Boston Special; On Tuesday afternoon
the 26th inst, the parents OF a well known
South Boston girl discovered that she had
her portrait taken in q costume so fear
fully invisible that the most powerful mi
croscope failed to find it. When expos
tulated with she said she did not care
what they thought about it, because
"other girls did it." Alter exac.ing a
promise from her that she would never
visit the gallery again or any other gallery
for such purpose, the subject dropped.
An intimate friend OF the family discov-
cred accidentally that this picture was on
exhibition in private room and that
dozens OF them were being turned out and
sold to the Broadway bloods at very high
prices He Immediately swore out war
rant for the arrest OF the photographer for
selling obscene and indecent pictures. The
gallery was visited by the police and the
proprietor taken into custody. 1t is said
that fifteen different pictures OF various
pretty young ladies well known in South
Boston were brought to light, and that on
the roof in various stages of development
ten negatives were also discovered OF South
Bosto beauties in undress uniform.
The proprietor was held in two bonds OF
$500 each for trial. The first count
charges him with selling obscene photo.
graphs and the second with publishing and
circulating indecent literature.

And in five minutes Clissy herself
came in, looking even prettier, if it were

How he managed to speak out the
dearest wish of his heart, Doctor Dale
never quite knew. He had prepared q
form OF words on the way, but it
vanished utterly out of his mind when
the eventful moment came. He could
only remember that she stood there
before him in all her fresh young
beauty, like d human apple blossom
and that he loved her.
But after he had her hand in his, one
waist, he told her OF the mornings oc

So they were married. A few weeks
subsequent to their bridal, Franklin

"It's like artley," said DR.. Dale
"He always looked out for the mair

At the end of five years, however
Franklin BARLEY came back to his ma

wife had returned to her friends minus

"'A young man married is q young

Heavy Nehicular Traffic.


We have bad streets in ths city-there is
o doubt about it--snnebody has to be con-
drmned for 1t. And naturally the blame
fa Is upon City Councils street Department.
1t mag be how ever, that the department Is
doing the best It can according to conditions
as they exist. The basis of all the trouble
appears to lie ia the fact that streets which
the Street Department has carefully prepar-
ed upon the supostion that they are suitable
for all kinds of vehiculsr tlaffiu are now
proved to be not so bnt are suited only for
lighter vehicular trafic. New York has
just discovered, and at great expense OF
money and time that no roadway is possible
of construction that is suitable for every
grade Of traffic, heavy aud light. The ques-
tiun is at present being determined of separ-
asing and ordering that certain streets, paw
ed iu certain suitable manner, he used and
restricted to the use by certain traffic. Fol
instance, q cs rtaln klud vi pavement is laid

will bs restricted, aud otherw Use another and
specially suitable bed or pavement is used, or
will be, according to the suggestion, for light
traffic.
In this arrangement may perhaps be per-
..it,..t
part of the troublesome question existing
and purlurbing us just now.
1t may readily be seen that, having once
admitted that no street roadway is possible
ofconstruction sutiug all vshcular needs,
Que cause of the sudden collapse OF parts OF
our newly constructed streetwsys may be
ouud.
Our present. oobble-stone street paving is
thoroughly well suited for the need of heavy
team, it is least destructible from such traf-
tic OF any street paving. The maj ,rity of
the new and expensive pavements will not
stand heavy rough traffic. At the same time
We must rememb Der that the law has gone
forth, law like that of the Medes and Per-
SLAMS, that cannot be changed, wo must have
something in Wilmington different from the

Where the Shoe PiDches.


The danger to the cause of State Conven-
tion for the revision Of the Delaware consti-
tuition is most aptly illustrated and finds It's
parallel in the following from the Real Es-
tate Record Of New Yoik City. (It should
be remembered that the citizens of the EN-
pre- State also are endeavoriug to have re-
vision Of their constitution by the method of
State convention The Record says there
Is something absurd about the two parties
in the New York legislature refusing to
unite on some plan for constitutional con-
ventiom for fear that one or the other party
will have the upper hand in it, Any change
IN the constitution or now assertion of prin-
ciples cannot if such change is made at the
instance of one of tho two big plrties, harm
either one. Such changes will be made by
rascals for raScals, aud the party which has
the biggest voting power in the State will,
in the future, get the advantage, not the
party which happens TO be able to control
this convention But beyond all this We
would like SON ne to tell us what differ
euce there is anyhow between The two old
parties as to constitutional principles.
The citizens OF Delaware too would like
to know what difference there is or can be
expected of political advantage to the peo-
pile generally from either of the two baron-
ial families that dominate the State. They

against one another with bigger promises at

any same citizen expect from either faction
auy genuine popular sacrifice. Even at this
moment is 1t not rum red that both parties
have pooled issues on the question of State
convention. and that those Dh0 kno,0 are laugh

ANYTHING But Stagnation.

AS our esteemed contemporary Euery EUe-
ming states, in speaking upon the of legiala-
t,ve action IN regard to a State convention,
anything is better than the present state OF
,tagnatiou into which the question bas fallen
at the Capitol.
A State convention is something which the
citizers Of Delaware undeniably need and
what they have in clear terms asked their
representatives at Dover to act upon. For
some reason OF other the legislators are tacit.

A Sewer Commission.

On last Wednesday there appeared befuir
the Legislature most respec able delegation
from this CITY asking that the L gislatut
relieve Wilmington 'of all care of strteis,
including sewers, and place them in the

civilized world. For weeks vehieular tn ffi :,

nothing more or less than succession ui
holes. Maj ket street, the business avenue
of the city, is most horribly paved and the
uueveuess of the cobbe stones is constantly
endangering the safety OF horses legs.
No one can be found to apologize for tht
condition Of our streets and it is fetventlS
hoped that the L gisature may offer some
relief in this matter.
There is however, one feature in this pro-
posed street bill that needs some ventilation
and that is,wiat ielation is said commission
